I'd like to start this post so that we can celebrate the things we did today. Whether big or small steps, they all need to be celebrated as working towards good mental health.
Lets not worry about the list we made and the things we didn't do.
Let's just focus on those things we did manage to do.
So today (Monday)
* I had a shower
* I washed my clothes
* hung my clothes up to dry
* cooked dinner
What did you do today?
Let's celebrate!

Hi @utopia, @Maggie, @BlueBay, @Teej,
Started today so very tired:
After lunch it improved:
My friend has a house inspection tomorrow and has a really bad back at the moment, which is why I was helping her with the chores.
Hope today has been okay for everyone, and that tomorrow is better.

That was a pretty busy day for you @Mazarita. Would have worn me out.
Today I:
* took my meds
* Fed dogs
* took son to school (too cold to walk - ice all over my car - had to hose it off)
* did the dishes
*cooked dinner twice (first meal ended up coconut milk was off. So had to cool steak instead)
* folded washing
* Fed dogs again
Now going to bed.
Goodnight everyone.

Spread pea straw under trees in back yard, it's been sitting in a bale for months.
visit from neighbour and coffee.
2 other coffees during the day and frozen yoghurt.
